  1. I’m 4 weeks post-op now but around the second week I also had pains when I bent over or sat straight up, always at the same spot. I couldn’t sit at a table for too long because of it. My surgeon prescribed me a muscle relaxer, which helped, and it eventually subsided. I tried to make sure I was sitting up every now and then but mainly sat in a recliner so I could lean back a bit and relieve the pressure.
  2. I got “The Gastric Sleeve” cookbook on Amazon. I actually had a bypass but it works for both surgeries. I wouldn’t say I LOVE it but it gave me a lot of different ideas about stuff I could have at different stages. I felt like I kept seeing the same recipes over and over again online.
